[Somebody's been practicing with these things, which does make sense given her new role in communications for Orange team. She's still not sure what she thinks of this, but it does make it convenient to speak with everyone without need for FarSpeech or a ThoughtSenser.

She's late commenting, if only because she's been trying to wrestle any kind of meaning into her damn dreams.]

Goddess, if I never see another one of those dreams, it will be too soon. If this is what the other ForeSeers in Valdemar have to go through, I think they deserve more rest time.

[She sighs]

I've never been what I'd call jealous of them, but this sets it all in stone. I do not envy them their dreams. Although I suppose at least theirs typically have the courtesy of making sense.

I think I'm becoming sick of the fire and the catastrophes. Can't there be one damned place that isn't on the verge of an immediate collapse?

[That completely defeats the purpose of why they're on this train in the first place, and she knows it, but even so. It's stressful dealing with apocalypse after apocalypse.]

And here I'd thought one war was enough.

[He is, isn't he? :'D]

I dunno. Like a little piece of home if you ask me.

[They're not naming the new video game "Ever Crisis" without reason...]

Look, I get it. Some people aren't made for this kinda work. The train doesn't always make the best decisions. And it's "vacations" aren't always the greatest either... But, what'cha gonna do about it, yeah?

If that's what your home is like, I'm rather glad I'll not see it.

I'll do what I can, but you'll pardon me if I'm not exactly supernaturally prepared to handle continuing nightmares.

Eh, it is what it is. We've survived this long...

[Casual shrug not visible but there and probably noticeable in his tone of voice.]

Hey, no one said I was supernatural. I barely even have a handful of magic on hand no thanks to the train's shop. [He thinks it's limited and thus bullshit.] It's just something you either get used to, or die trying. I prefer not to die, so...

I never accused you of being supernatural, either. I only meant that it's human to be upset by things like that.

Yeah, yeah. Some people just like to complain. Hell, I've been told I complain too much on occasion. But a job is a job. And I've just been here longer. [Slightly deflated tone at that last sentence. Not exactly a thing he's proud or happy about.]

If you have a suggestion, I'd be glad to hear it.

Well, there's always drink if you can afford it. Or, you know, do something reasonable and talk to someone. But who does that sort of thing? [beat] Losers, that's who.

Just prepare and survive. If you don't know how, learn.
